FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to product user guides and, moreparticularly, to an information augmented product user guide.

BACKGROUND

Product user guides usually contain a lot of detailed information abouta product's use, features, maintenance, etc. which can be prettyoverwhelming for a user. For this reason, a quick start guide issometimes provided that explains the very minimum information requiredto get the user up and running. This can be very helpful to get the usergoing but falls short on substance when the user is ready to learn more.Both of these guides are usually available in both soft and hard copies,but require switching back and forth between the guide and the product,which does not provide a great user experience.

SUMMARY

A method includes receiving an image of a product, obtaining contentrelevant to using the product, and displaying the content in anaugmented reality view of the product by overlaying the content on theimage of the product on a display device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following description, reference is made to the accompanyingdrawings that form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way ofillustration specific embodiments which may be practiced. Theseembodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilledin the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood thatother embodiments may be utilized and that structural, logical andelectrical changes may be made without departing from the scope of thepresent invention. The following description of example embodiments is,therefore, not to be taken in a limited sense, and the scope of thepresent invention is defined by the appended claims.

The functions or algorithms described herein may be implemented insoftware or a combination of software and human implemented proceduresin one embodiment. The software may consist of computer executableinstructions stored on computer readable media or computer readablestorage device such as one or more memory or other type of hardwarebased storage devices, either local or networked. Further, suchfunctions correspond to modules, which are software, hardware, firmwareor any combination thereof. Multiple functions may be performed in oneor more modules as desired, and the embodiments described are merelyexamples. The software may be executed on a digital signal processor,ASIC, microprocessor, or other type of processor operating on a computersystem, such as a personal computer, server or other computer system.

Augmented reality functions are used to obtain, display, present and/orprovide content concerning a product, such as a just-in-time quick startguide and additional information (e.g., identification of buttons andfeatures of the product) using the product itself as context. Typically,the content is obtained and displayed in response to the product beingbrought within the field of view of a display device. Thus, for example,when a user brings a product into the field of view of a display device,the product defines the context for obtaining and/or displaying thecontent. Typically, after or as the user removes the product from thefield of view, content corresponding to the product or a portion thereofthat is no longer in the field of view is no longer displayed (e.g.,disappears or fades from) the display because the corresponding contentis no longer supported by the product or portion thereof. In otherwords, when the product is removed from or leaves the field of view,there is no context about which to generate product information. Inanother embodiment, all of the content or at least a portion thereof maycontinue to be displayed for a period of time after the product isremoved from or leaves the field of view. By using a device 100illustrated in block diagram form in FIG. 1, equipped with a camera anddisplay, such as a smartphone, tablet, or near to eye wearable devicethat facilitates augmented reality, a user may view the actual product110 through the camera view finder/display as an image, which alsoincludes live video of the product. The product 110 may be recognizedfrom pre-profiled images of the product and/or an augmented realitymarker or the physical geometry of the product. Information such as at115 is overlaid on the physical product 110 as if it were actually thereon the product itself. Various features of the product may behighlighted, and a user may be walked through typical usage of theproduct by highlighting various features described in text on theproduct in the order that they must be executed.

Usage of the product, in addition to simply using the product for itsintended use, may also include maintenance and repair operations in someembodiments. Examples of corresponding augmented images may include butare not limited to augmenting an image of a wiring harness to detailspecific areas of interest, such as various wires, augmenting an imageof a pump to enumerate bolts or other fasteners to remove fordisassembly or replacement, and augmenting an image of a heating,ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to detail specificcomponents of interest.

In one embodiment, the device 100 is a smart device that is using itscamera to inspect a physical object or product, in this case a ruggedsmartphone such as a Honeywell Dolphin Black smartphone. The software onthe device 100 recognizes the object and estimates its pose to theobject. Then relevant information about the object is displayed as if itwere actually on the physical object. The information may be informationfrom a user guide, metadata, video, animation, or any other type ofinformation useful in demonstrating features and use of the product,generally referred to as content.

Features of product 110 for example, include imager button 115, powerbutton 116, volume up button 117, volume down button 118, and furtherbuttons, such as menu 119, home 120, scan 121, back 122, and search 123.The features may be highlighted in some embodiments indicative offurther information being available. Lines may be used from theinformation to corresponding buttons. A prompt 125 displayed to the sideof the product 110 advises the user to press a highlighted button tolearn more about the button. Selectable links 127 may be selected toprovide further detail including technical specifications, user guide,and warranty information.

In various embodiments, user issued voice commands are executed, anduser interface interactions, such as pressing a button on the productare detected and used to provide further information in the augmentedview of the product. These user interactions may be used to provide allthe information about the product's use directly on top of the actualproduct so that one does not have to reference an external source.

In various embodiments, the augmented reality experience may be providedvia a tablet or smart phone as illustrated at 110, running a smartphoneapplication that instructs the user to look at a particular productthrough a real time camera video feed on the display. When any side ofthe product is recognized in a video feed, the user's perspective to theproduct may be determined based on the image's skew when compared to apre-profiled image. This allows rendering of a 3D model of the productsuperimposed directly on top of the physical object to provide theaugmented reality view. Buttons and features of the product may behighlighted, and text descriptions provided for the buttons andfeatures.

In one embodiment, the entire 3D model of the object need not bedisplayed. Rather, the 3D model may be used as an invisible framework sothat texturing of it may be changed on demand to highlight variouscomponents of the physical object, i.e., the product. It is essentiallya map in 3D space to each feature on the product. By using the product'sactual 3D drawing, components to highlight will align perfectly withdisplay of the actual product/physical object. Highlighting ofcomponents provides the ability to walk a user through a particularoperation by highlighting the buttons/steps to get there, in the orderthey must be executed. Detection of a user pressing a button may beperformed by defining a region on a virtual object that registers aclick event when it is detected that a finger/object crosses into theregion.

Audio may be used to completely guide the user through the setupprocedure. With this framework in place, a user may be visually andoptionally audibly walked through any operation on the product. This canbe a vast improvement over existing quick start and user guides.

In a specific example embodiment, the augmented reality feature may beused for a loading media into a printer operation. Printer customers mayhave a difficult time figuring out how to load media in their printerdue to the various spindles and complexity of the product. Providing aview of the inside of the printer through a Smartphone or tablet to showthe various media being loaded on the spindles and routed through themachine can aid the user in loading media. The view may be any type ofcontent, such as a series of images, animation, video, etc., that aidthe user in understanding the operation.

The augmented reality view may be used to completely walk a user step bystep through the media loading process. The view may show an inside ofthe printer and may show floating text to inform the user what ishappening. It shows how to lift the print head and adjust all thevarious sliders to ensure that the media is inserted correctly.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method 200 of providing informationabout a product utilizing an augmented reality view of the product. At205, an image of the product is received. The image may comprise asingle image, or a series of images, such as a video of the product.Pre-profiled images of the product may be used to compare to thereceived image to identify the product, and a corresponding guide or setof information regarding the product at 210. In one embodiment, theinformation comprises a start guide to help a user start using theproduct. The information may further include information from a productmanual having instructions for using different features of the product,including advanced features.

Information from the guide relevant to using the product is retrieved orotherwise obtained at 215. In one embodiment, a virtual model of theproduct may be matched to the orientation of the product at 220. Themodel may be a very simple model that merely matches the size of theproduct, and may just include the relative positions of the features andbuttons of the product.

The information may be correlated to the virtual model at 225 such thatinformation is associated with each feature or button of the product.The association may be inferred by the position of the information withrespect to the feature or button, and may also include reference linesleading between the information and corresponding feature or button.

At 230, the information is displayed in an augmented reality view of theproduct by overlaying the information on the image of the product on adisplay device in the same manner that it is associated with thefeatures or buttons of the model.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method 300 of providing augmentedviews of a product to illustrate using an operation to be performed,such as using an advanced feature or function of the product. At 305, auser selecting a button or other type of user interface construct on theproduct is detected from received images. Detection of a user pressing abutton may be performed by defining a region on a virtual object thatregisters a click event when it is detected that a finger/object crossesinto the region. At 310, the detected selection is used to selectfurther information from the guide related to the selection, such as afunction or other operation. At 315, the information is associated withthe model to identify a position of the information for the augmentedview of the product, and at 320, the further information is presented inthe augmented reality view of the product by overlaying the furtherinformation on the image of the product on the display device.

In one embodiment, an operation may involve multiple differentinteractions with the product, and the information associated with theinteraction may be sequentially highlighted in an order corresponding toa selected operation on the product. Highlighting may include making anarea of the display brighter, blurring other areas, providing a textattribute such as bolding, highlighting, blinking, etc., or other meansof highlighting to draw a user's attention to the information on thedisplay.

In some embodiments, the displayed image of the product is augmentedwith information descriptive of features of the product. The featuresinclude user selectable buttons. In further embodiments, the informationincludes selectable links to further detailed information regarding thefeatures.

In one embodiment, the information comprises a view of inside theproduct during an operation. In one example, the product may include aprinter, the operation may include loading media into the printer. Theinformation may be a video of inner spindles and media being routedinside the printer corresponding to the operation. While the media beingrouted inside the printer may not be visible looking at the product, theaugmented reality information can show the user a view that otherwise isnot observable. Such information may help the user understand what isactually occurring during the operation as the user interacts with theproduct to accomplish the operation.

Other types of information beyond text include animated graphics showinga user various ways to interact with the product. User input gesturesmay be more easily illustrated by using such an animation to demonstratethe gesture directly overlaid via the augmented view of the product.

A context of the product may also be obtained. One context involves aproduct that has not yet been used. The context may be recognized byanalyzing information presented on the product itself, or via a userinterface selection of a startup guide for the product. For instance, anew product may be detected by packaging, including a film over adisplay of a new cell phone. Detection of the film may trigger displayof the start guide to help guide the user through initial startup of theproduct, such as removing the film from the display, replacing a simcard and pressing real or virtual buttons to start the cell phone andestablish connections to voice and data networks.

FIG. 4 is a block schematic diagram of a computer system 400 toimplement methods according to example embodiments. Note that in someembodiments, various parts of a method may be implemented in adistributed manner, such that a server or cloud may perform some partsof the methods, or they may be completely self-contained on a singledevice. All components need not be used in various embodiments, such assmart phones, tablets, and other devices capable of providing augmentedreality views of products. One example computing device in the form of acomputer 400 may include a processing unit 402, memory 403, removablestorage 410, and non-removable storage 412. Although the examplecomputing device is illustrated and described as computer 400, thecomputing device may be in different forms in different embodiments. Forexample, the computing device may instead be a smartphone, a tablet,smartwatch, or other computing device including the same or similarelements as illustrated and described with regard to FIG. 4. Devicessuch as smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches are generallycollectively referred to as mobile devices. Further, although thevarious data storage elements are illustrated as part of the computer400, the storage may also or alternatively include cloud-based storageaccessible via a network, such as the Internet.

Memory 403 may include volatile memory 414 and non-volatile memory 408.Computer 400 may include—or have access to a computing environment thatincludes—a variety of computer-readable media, such as volatile memory414 and non-volatile memory 408, removable storage 410 and non-removablestorage 412. Computer storage includes random access memory (RAM), readonly memory (ROM), erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) &electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), flashmemory or other memory technologies, compact disc read-only memory (CDROM), Digital Versatile Disks (DVD) or other optical disk storage,magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or othermagnetic storage devices, or any other medium capable of storingcomputer-readable instructions.

Computer 400 may include or have access to a computing environment thatincludes input 406, output 404, and a communication connection 416.Output 404 may include a display device, such as a touchscreen, thatalso may serve as an input device. The input 406 may include one or moreof a touchscreen, touchpad, mouse, keyboard, camera, one or moredevice-specific buttons, one or more sensors integrated within orcoupled via wired or wireless data connections to the computer 400, andother input devices. The computer may operate in a networked environmentusing a communication connection to connect to one or more remotecomputers, such as database servers.

The communication connection mayinclude a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), cellular,Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other networks.

Computer-readable instructions stored on a computer-readable medium areexecutable by the processing unit 402 of the computer 400. A hard drive,CD-ROM, and RAM are some examples of articles including a non-transitorycomputer-readable medium such as a storage device. The termscomputer-readable medium and storage device do not include carrierwaves. For example, a computer program 418 capable of providing ageneric technique to perform access control check for data access and/orfor doing an operation on one of the servers in a component object model(COM) based system may be included on a CD-ROM and loaded from theCD-ROM to a hard drive. The computer-readable instructions allowcomputer 400 to provide generic access controls in a COM based computernetwork system having multiple users and servers.

Although a few embodiments have been described in detail above, othermodifications are possible. For example, the logic flows depicted in thefigures do not require the particular order shown, or sequential order,to achieve desirable results. Other steps may be provided, or steps maybe eliminated, from the described flows, and other components may beadded to, or removed from, the described systems. Other embodiments maybe within the scope of the following claims.
